103: Q&A With Julie: The Most Common Pitch Problems Solved

One of the proudest moments of my career to-date was having the courage to launch this podcast. It’s been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences—and I’m so grateful for everyone who’s come alongside me on this journey.

It feels like yesterday I was sitting down in the tiny guest room of my house to record episode one. I had zero experience in podcasting, interviewing guests, and audio production. What I did have was a laptop, a $100 microphone, and the courage to show up.

Now here we are at episode 100 with an incredible platform of education, inspiration, and resource that’s heard in more than 192 countries and has been downloaded millions of times by dreamers and believers like YOU.

These past two years have taught me more about influence than I ever could’ve imagined—from interviewing amazing guests like Marie Forleo and Jasmine Star, to getting wiped off iTunes without warning. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing but I’m grateful for every moment.

So in honor of today’s 100th episode, I’m reflecting on three things I’ve learned about what works (and what doesn’t) in this online world of influence.

In this episode, you’ll get to answers to questions like:

“What should I do if I don’t hear back from a brand after sending a pitch?”

“How (and when) do I bring up rates without sending a rate sheet?”

What did you think?
